Mark B The opening title song sets the mood, so bad you know the movie will not go well. Stuart Granger is so bad in this movie. The script and the story are patched together and the actions of the cast don’t pass the logic test. This is not a good movie at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Steve D No one is given much to do besides say the word coffee a lot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Grace didn't make many movies, she should have made one less! Silly adventure isn't wretched nor is it very good. Her only film to lose money on original release. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review s r A columbian mining adventure with a bit of melodrama, but of course a glowing grace kelly helps make up the difference. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review ashley h Green Fire is an excellent film It is about Rian Mitchell finding an emerald mine in South America. Stewart Granger and Grace Kelly give fantastic performances. The script is well written. Andrew Marton did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the adventure and drama. Green Fire is a must see Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Period piece set in South America reeks of dullness from the first minute to the 100th minute. Stewart Granger plays an explorer who wants to open an emerald mine in Colombia, and has to persuade the villagers and a gorgeous owner (Grace Kelly) of a coffee plantation. Not much happens for the bulk of the film, with just forgettable dialogue (and performances for that matter) throughout this near-ordeal. One scene of particular silliness is when the first man of Kelly's interest (John Ericson) is killed when a rock during a mine renovation falls and allegedly kills him. From what I saw, the rock missed him and landed at his groin when he fell down (it barely hit his body). What a laughable death to accompany a non-recommendable film. A particular waste of Grace Kelly's fine acting capabilities (she was in five movies that year, and the two worth watching over the others are "The Country Girl," which contains her Oscar winning performance, and of course, "Rear Window"). Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
